One day I was walking with my mom out of a supermarket then I found a wallet and picking it up. We were on our ways to the parking lot. In front of us were a lady, who seemed to be looking for something and we asked her what she was looking for. She said she has lost her wallet. I asked her if one I picked up was hers. Saw the wallet, she said yes. So I gave it back to her. She was so glad that she insisted on giving me 100 yuan for return. I refused. She was gratefully to us. I returned back home with delight.

Answer

1. then→when

2. picking→picked

3. ways→way

4. were→was

5. has →had

6. ∧one→the

7. Saw→Seeing

8. for→in

9. gratefully→grateful

10. back

【解析】1. 错误类型：连词误用。“…was/were doing sth…. + when…”固定句式，意思为：正在做…..这时（意想不到的事情发生了），故把then改为when.

2. 错误类型：时态误用。and 前后的谓语动词要一致，found 和picked是两个先后发生的平行谓语动词，时态应保持一致。故把picking改为picked.

3. 错误类型：名词单复数误用。On one’s way to…“前往”，是固定短语，way不用复数。故把ways改为way.

4. 错误类型：主谓不一致。这是一个全部倒装句，主语是a lady, 所以谓语动词用单数。故把were改为was.

5. 错误类型：时态误用。主句的谓语是过去时态（said），宾语从句的谓语动词用过去的各种时态，另外，这里丢钱包的动作发生在said之前，所以用过去完成时态，即动作是在过去的过去发生的。故把has改为had.

6. 错误类型：冠词漏用。one 后面有一个定语从句，特指的，所以前面要加定冠词the。

7. 错误类型：非谓语动词误用。这里seeing现在分词做时间状语; seeing the wallet=when she saw the wallet。故把saw改为seeing.

8. 错误类型：介词误用。In return“作为回报”，固定短语。故把for改为in.

9. 错误类型：形容词副词混用。Be动词后面跟形容词做表语，所以要把副词gratefully改成形容词grateful。

10. 错误类型：副词冗余。Return 本身就有回去的意思，后面不需要再跟back了。故把back去掉。
